OBSOLETE(2) Linux Programmer's Manual OBSOLETE(2)
NAME
oldfstat, oldlstat, oldstat, oldolduname, olduname - obso-
lete system calls
SYNOPSIS
Obsolete system calls.
DESCRIPTION
The Linux 2.0 kernel implements these calls to support old
executables. These calls return structures which have
grown since their first implementation, but old executa-
bles must continue to receive old smaller structures.
Current executables should be linked with current
libraries and never use these calls.
CONFORMINGTO
These calls are unique to Linux and should not be used at
all in new programs.
